Gallery B Presents “The Postcard” by Art4US
“Plato argues that human beings are imprisoned in the cave of their own existence. We construct a narrative of our lives, we write the story in linear sequence, and we defend it. Inviting you to enter The Cave and send yourself a Postcard from the locale that reminds you of a visceral experience. Awaken a fragment of your being.” ART4US is a creative cooperative providing a virtual place to display, develop and cultivate patrons’ relationships. Several LRA members will have their work on display at this exhibit: Bettina Brunner; Rudy Guernica; Antonella Manganelli; Allessandra Ricci; and Michelle Simoneau!! Congrats to all!!
